Chapter 423 - Unity of Heaven and Man (1/2)

Looking at Mo Luo who was emanating an aura force which was as boundless as the skies, Tai Su sighed. He was indeed far too interior to Mo Luo.

However, he had a reason to save Ning Fan no matter what.

Not to mention that he was already dead, even if he was still alive, he would still save Ning Fan from this disaster regardless.

Mo Luo no longer used the Star Punishing Bow Technique. He just used his ten fingers to form a hand seal and the vertical ghost eye on his glabella suddenly gave off a strange light.

Just as this faint light flickered, darkness descended upon the whole world.

Amidst the darkness, bizarre and gigantic vertical eyes emerged one after another, filling up the entire dark sky. There were approximately billions of them in total!

Each of the vertical eye fermented a trace of deadly devil flame.

A single trace of demon flame from a single vertical eye would be enough to kill a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator!

One hundred traces of the demon flames could kill a Void Refinement Realm cultivator!

Ten thousand traces of the flames could eliminate a Void Fragmentation Realm expert!

One million traces of the demon flames could kill a Life Immortal Realm being!

More than one hundred million traces of the demon flames could kill a True Immortal Realm being!

When there were ten billion traces of them, they could even incinerate an ordinary Immortal Emperor Realm being!

“Mo Luo Dao, Demonizing Ten Billion Technique!” Mo Luo’s icy cold voice was like the final bell ring that decided one’s death. It reverberated for a long time in heaven and earth.

The atmosphere was permeated with killing intent. The Heavenly Dao was trembling. Mo Luo who was with fifty percent of his true strength could instantly kill Tai Su who was at his peak state!

Ning Fan’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

So this is Great Emperor Mo Luo, one of the nine emperors of the ancient devil race?!

If this kind of man still lives today, he will probably be a person who can slaughter every single expert of the Four Heavens and Nine Worlds!

Even though there are also immortal emperors in the Four Heavens, there is definitely no one who is as strong and supreme as Mo Luo!

There was no way Ning Fan could resist Mo Luo from possessing him. Thus, it turned out that compelling the latter to stop by killing himself was not embarrassing at all.

With such formidable strength, Mo Luo could even possess experts at Tai Su’s level and it would certainly be not difficult as well.

However, the condition for him to successfully possess people like Tai Su was that they must have the Stone Warrior Devil Marks like Ning Fan. Besides, they must develop and upgrade the devil marks step by step to make them break through to the Profound Earth Devil Marks which was of the general grade and slowly condensed the devil eye.

The way Mo Luo chose his slaves was not like a hungry person who never made selections before his food. If one does not have the potential to develop the Stone Warrior Devil Marks to the level where the devil eye forms, they would not even have the qualifications to become his slave, much less the chance to gain immortality.

Mo Luo would be even more choosy in his choice of individuals to possess. He was willing to possess Ning Fan but he might not necessarily be willing to possess a True Immortal Realm being. That is to say that Ning Fan was quite admirable in Mo Luo’s eyes.

Unfortunately, there was never equality in his admiration towards his enemies and slaves.

Those who deserved to stand on an equal footing with Mo Luo were long dead in the torrent of time!

“Young man, just as what you’ve seen, Great Emperor Mo Luo is too strong… I have lost to him. Even though I have ill feelings about it, there’s no harm to me being killed by him once. As for you, you are different. You will be possessed or demonized… Are you willing to accept that?” Tai Su said with a bitter smile.

“Not willing!” Ning Fan closed his eyes and said with an indifferent tone.

Even though he was reluctant from the bottom of his heart, there were too many things that one could not do because of being too weak. Hence, what option did one have even if they were reluctant to accept the fact?

The only thing Ning Fan could do now was to stop Mo Luo from successfully demonizing him and possessing his body. He had the stubborn will which he would be willing to die one hundred times without regrets!

“I have a secret technique that can ‘eliminate’ Mo Luo… However, this secret technique may cause you to incur some sacrifices. But it may also be an opportunity for you…”

“If Senior has any words to say, Senior may speak straightforwardly!”

“I have a plan… to ‘eliminate’ Mo Luo! But I will need your help!”

Tai Su had that conversation with Ning Fan openly. He did not seem to hide his thoughts from Mo Luo. Moreover, Tai Su purposely pronounced the word ‘eliminate’ with emphasis, as if he was attempting to enrage Mo Luo.

Mo Luo originally intended to burn Tai Su to death with the flames of the devil eyes he summoned.

However, after hearing Tai Su’s arrogant remarks, one corner of his mouth curved into a proud and mocking smirk.

He knew that Tai Su was provoking him. He also knew that Tai Su was going to use an unfair technique to win against him as the latter was clearly aware that he was impossible to win through a direct and fair fight.

But he was not concerned about it. He was not concerned about Tai Su playing any kind of tricks on him.

It was because he was strong. It was because he was proud. It was because he was Mo Luo and he would never be defeated!

“I can give you a chance to borrow his physical body for your own use.” Mo Luo sneered. His words had exposed Tai Su’s thought.

Mo Luo was already dead. Tai Su was also the same. The both of them certainly could not be at their peak state.

For some reasons, Mo Luo could only have thirty percent of his magic power. After performing Soul Extraction, he could arrive at the fifty percent of his usual peak state.

As for Tai Su, he was nearly at his peak state because he was summoned by the finger bone that Ning Fan devoured. However, there were still restrictions on his current state. Many secret techniques which needed to be displayed using a true physical body were unable to use.

With Ning Fan’s current strength which could not even leave a scratch on an Immortal Emperor Realm being, he could not intervene in their fight at all.

Compared to them, the only thing he had was a physical body. If Tai Su temporarily takes over his body, he could then display some kind of secret technique. Perhaps he could put up a fight against Mo Luo with the secret technique.

That’s what Tai Su was thinking about.

Both of them were immortal emperors. Their intelligence and shrewdness were, of course, incredible. It was completely normal for Mo Luo to see through the thoughts of his opponent.

Tai Su also did not feel ashamed about it. No. To put it in a more accurate manner, if it was in the past, Tai Su would disdain making use of others to fight his enemy.

Today, however, was different from the past. He had something that only Ning Fan could help him accomplish.

Therefore, he could not let Ning Fan be demonized and possessed.

Therefore, he would not hesitate even if he had to resort to despicable means which would ruin his heroic reputation of his lifetime.

“Senior wants to take over this junior’s body?” Ning Fan opened his eyes and said.

“Exactly! I have one thing that I can’t let go even if I am already dead and only you can help me achieve it… You must promise me about it and I will then give my all to save you!” Tai Su said without giving Ning Fan any room to refuse.

“Alright!” Ning Fan nodded in agreement.

Weaklings had no qualifications to negotiate.

If he is as strong as an immortal emperor and he could eliminate Mo Luo with a single palm, he would not need to promise Tai Su any request.

However, he was too weak now and he needed Tai Su in order to survive. It was not an excessive request to promise Tai Su one thing for the latter to save him.

“Very well! If my secret technique fails, you will die and I will perish. There is no point telling you about it now. However, if my secret technique is successful, I will naturally tell you more about it. Su Lightning Dao, Emperor’s Spirit Descending Technique!”

Tai Su performed a series of hand seals and his body turned into illusory lightning. In a flash, he went into Ning Fan’s body.

Ning Fan closed his eyes and shut off his Sea of Consciousness, handing over the control over his body. But at the next moment, he was filled with surprise!

Tai Su did not take away his control over his body.

Tai Su had ignited his Dao Sense of his entire lifetime and turned it into a mass of lightning rays that blessed Ning Fan’s primordial spirit.

The magic power that the mass of lightning ray contained was even greater the magic power of all cultivators in the Rain World combined!

Under the blessing of that mass of lightning ray, Ning Fan’s aura force was actually boosted sharply at the next moment!

Void Refinement Realm, Void Fragmentation Realm, Life Immortal Realm, True Immortal Realm… Immortal Emperor Realm!

Mo Luo’s eyes flashed with a hint of amazement but his face revealed a mocking smirk at the next second.

Tai Su’s action was beyond Ning Fan’s imagination and even Mo Luo’s expectation.

At first, Mo Luo thought that Tai Su would borrow Ning Fan’s physical body to battle against him after knowing that he had no chance in winning against him.

However, what was beyond Mo Luo’s expectation was that Tai Su did not have the intention to continue battling him anymore. Instead, he decided to pay a heavy price by sacrificing his own Dao to grant Ning Fan a boost in his magic power to a terrifyingly strong level!

It was a type of secret technique that was completely different from Soul Extraction Technique!

The principle of Soul Extraction Technique was about ruthlessly extracting, mercilessly seizing and forcibly snatching power from others.

As for this secret technique, it was about sacrificing, giving up, and exchanging!

One who chose to ignite and eliminate his own Dao Sense could exchange for magic power to grant others a terrifying boost in their magic power temporarily.

In order to rescue Ning Fan, Lightning Emperor Tai Su gave up his Dao that he had cultivated in his lifetime. The current Ning Fan could never understand such a great price. He would only understand Tai Su’s action and the reasons behind his action after many years in the future!

Now, he fell into a state of emptiness and blankness, as if a young, immature child who suddenly became the supreme ruler in a leap and had no idea how to give the command to control the millions of rivers and mountains in his hands.

The level of his magic power had been raised to the Immortal Emperor Realm by Tai Su. Due to Tai Su’s great effort, Ning Fan’s current magic power was even a minor cultivation realm stronger than Tai Su in his peak state. Even though he was still a little inferior to Mo Luo, there was already not much difference between the two of them.

The gap in their magic power was reduced. However, magic power was not the determining factor of winning or losing in the battle against an immortal emperor.

When one becomes an immortal, Dao Comprehension is the most important element.

One’s comprehension towards the Great Dao would determine the might of their immortal techniques which would in turn decide the strength of their combat power. As for Ning Fan’s level in Dao Comprehension, he was still at the Void Inquiry Stage after all. He had yet to attain the Void Pierce Stage, Absolute Void Stage or even Void Fragmentation Stage. All in all, he had yet to comprehend what “void” was.

Since he had not fully grasped the meaning of void, there was no way he could understand the meaning of true. Without Dao Comprehension, even if he possessed Immortal Emperor Realm magic power, he probably would not be able to withstand a single attack from an ordinary immortal emperor.

That was what Mo Luo was having in his mind. As such, he laughed at Tai Su for being so foolish.

Ning Fan closed his eyes and bit the tip of his tongue ferociously. The sensation of pain slightly calmed down his chaotic inner mind.

Even though his Dao Comprehension was nowhere near an immortal emperor, he was a cultivator who had attained the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm anyhow. He was not a fool and he naturally understood that having magic power alone was no use.

Depending on the Immortal Emperor Realm magic power he had now, Ning Fan probably could overpower ordinary True Immortal Realm beings. However, in the face of an Immortal Emperor Realm being who was on the same level as him, he would only be killed instantly.

It was certainly impossible for him to win against Mo Luo!

Unless he comprehends the “void” step by step and then the “true” and eventually climbs to the Immortal Emperor Realm with his own effort… Only then would he have the capabilities and qualifications to challenge Mo Luo!

“Senior, if I may be so bold, why do you want to save me? Why did you grant me the magic power? I don’t even have the chance of winning against him at all…”

“No. Even though your chance of winning against him is very low, you have at least a forty percent chance to eliminate Mo Luo! You can give it a try!” Surprisingly, Tai Su had quite a lot of confidence in Ning Fan.

“I have seen your performance in the face of my Tai Su’ Three Questions by reading the memories of my remnant lightning. Your answers are excellent…”

“However, the reason that made me so confident in your strength was not because of that… In the past, someone told me that the next person who condenses the Tai Su Lightning Star will be able to solve the great calamity of my ‘True Lightning World’ in the past one billion years… I didn’t believe it at first. However, when I first met you, I chose to believe it.”

“That person had once given me a jade slip. There is an afterimage of a technique in it… Perhaps you are the only one who is able to display that technique… Even if you just display the afterimage of this technique, that afterimage will be enough for you to certainly defeat Mo Luo. However, if you can’t display the technique, no one will be able to go through this calamity.”

“I have listened to your answers while facing Tai Su’s Three Questions. At the moment you passed through the stage, I have witnessed the power of the golden purple wind mist that you summoned. If I was not wrong, that power was the key of displaying the afterimage technique in the jade slip. You should give it a try!”

As soon as Tai Su’s voice fell, he circulated his lightning power. His rainbow-colored lightning power gradually formed into a jade slip that floated in front of Ning Fan.

Ning Fan scanned through the jade slip with his spirit sense. Within the jade slip, a man in purple robes with an indistinct appearance stood at the summit of layers of clouds. He was moving his five fingers. Then, golden purple mist transformed into a palm imprint…

The reason why the appearance of that man in purple robes was unable to be seen clearly was because it was concealed by the power of Samsara.

The qi of that man gave Ning Fan an extremely familiar feeling. He resembled Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou but Ning Fan could not be certain about it.

When Ning Fan looked at the figure of the man, he seemed to have recalled something but also forgotten something at the same time.

Slowly, he no longer obsessed with the identity of the man. Instead, he just carefully observed the latter’s palm imprint.

An extremely delicate palm imprint condensed within the man’s palm. When he took a closer look, that palm imprint was a normal palm with five fingers and each of the fingers corresponded with the Heaven Breaking Sword Finger. Moreover, they were the first five fingers and the five of them combined into one. With the help of the wind mist of Samsara, they formed into a palm!
